Congress on Steroids

In the article Congress on Steroids, it is concerned with the use of steroids in Major League Baseball. The reason that congress is deciding to take this upon their selves to resolve is for the future generation of children. So that they do not get the wrong idea that steroids are good for you, and if you use them nothing will happen to you. Baseball players are role models to thousand of kids, and as a role model they should act like ones. There are also those that think that congress should not have any part of this. Some people have asked, “Is it a good idea to have a hearing, why is it necessary?” Congress does think that it is necessary because they think that there is a cloud over baseball and they would like to relieve it. But as already mentioned the main reason or focus is the message being sent out to the children. What do you think should Congress have a part in deciding what happens in the baseball world of steroids?

-1 on Harry's post for poor capitalization, and on Dale's and Scott's comments too.

I'm not actually sure that Congress has any jurisdiction in this matter, since Major League Baseball has an antitrust exemption.

But, we do need to keep in mind that we elect people to "do something". This tends to make them "do something" even when they have to make it up as they go along.
